There are several reasons why I doubt the future of hydrogen fuel cell cars. The biggest problem is, where the hydrogen does come from: - currently almost all hydrogen is produced from natural gas, releasing CO2 in the process. - creating hydrogen via electrolysis is possible, but very energy intensive, using up much more electricity than it releases in the fuel cell - in any case, there is further energy used for compressing the hydrogen. So, in total a pure electrical car easily drives 3 times as far as a hydrogen fuel cell car with the same amount of input energy. This is going to put hydrogen cars at a big disadvantage to electrical cars. On the other side, electrical cars are getting to the point where the advantages of hydrogen cars are getting moot. The range is pretty close, and with fast charging the "refuel" does not take much longer as with hydrogen cars - but you normally can charge them overnight and not have to recharge them on the road in day-to-day business.
